THE WEEKEND DILEMMA

I feel like I always set myself up for failure on weekends. I go
through the week putting all all my jobs off until the weekend,
then I'm never satisfied with the result. If I do too much
recreation then I havent done enough jobs, and if I do jobs, then I
still haven't done enough jobs because I'm slow at everything. Or
if I have actually done enough jobs then I'm worn out and don't
feel like doing anything once the next week begins.

I've always gone back to the idea of switching between tasks more
fluidly. But it doesn't work. I'm not a computer, I forget what I
was doing and end up stuck trying to figure things out over and
over, and you can't just leave physical tasks without leaving a
mess, and even if you do that then tools that are needed for other
tasks end up part of that mess, which slows things down even more.

But this is all inevitable. I don't know why I'm bothing to write
about it really. I'm just in a bit of a grump, particularly because
job one from Saturday, fixing the house water pump, went badly and
is still ongoing. Also things like this are why I don't get around
to stuff like setting up my darkroom or building the elevated
garage/workshop area for the Jag. Or are they just an excuse? After
all I'm wasting time typing this, and getting very cold because the
house is really cold this morning and I'm not moving. For pity's
sake leave the computer and go bloody do something! Alright,
alright, but guess what? It's back to that damn pump.
